If you are at the bottom of your life, you may wish to look at the inspirational road of a generation of cowherd Zhu Yuanzhang in history to counterattack and become the founding emperor of Daming.
An ordinary day gave birth to an eternal emperor who changed the future world pattern.
September 18th, the first year of Yuan Wenzong, namely 1328,10,21,is an ordinary day in the long history, but it was recorded in the history books because of the birth of an eternal emperor. The world of the Yuan Dynasty came from horseback, and their soldiers swept across Eurasia and dominated for a while. There is a saying that it is easier to conquer the world than to defend it, especially the Han nationality with Chinese civilization has its own beliefs and culture. How can foreign invasion be allowed? The self-righteous ruling style of the supreme ruler of Mongolia divides the people of all ethnic groups in the country into the lowest class according to their ethnic groups, the Han population and the adherents of the Southern Song Dynasty. The cruel class system has made the Han population suffer more and more, and Mongolian aristocrats wantonly abused and killed Han people in the south of the Central Plains. The deepening class contradictions made the Yuan Dynasty under Mongolian rule turbulent. Zhu Yuanzhang was born in a poor peasant family. After Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, he established his own Zhu family tree and called generations farmers. Such a family is destined to be the lowest level in the Yuan Dynasty, and being at the lowest level is destined to be the object of oppression.
Natural and man-made disasters are doomed to turmoil in the world.
The force of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty was absolutely first-class. Wild riders conquered the whole land of the Central Plains, but it was not as simple as complaining about herding horses when they dismounted to govern the country. The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty were disunited, and the royal family fought for power and profit in the palace. People's lives in the world are not good either. There are many locusts in the world, and many people do not have enough to eat. At this time, instead of paying for the earthquake, the rulers intensified their exploitation of the bottom workers and famine appeared everywhere. There was a plague in Haozhou where Zhu Yuanzhang was located. His parents and eldest brother were infected with the plague because of family poverty and died overnight. Only that year did Zhu Yuanzhang do it. The landlord's family is a real cowherd. In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang had to borrow the cemetery of his second brother's neighbor to bury his parents. There is no land or parents to look after it, and the landlord will not let Zhu Yuanzhang herd cattle. He can only go to Huang Jue Temple to become a monk, so that he can have a bite to eat, sweep the floor and wash clothes every day, cook and ring the bell, and be dizzy with physical labor all day. Even so, he was insulted by the old monk.
Famine makes the local people not have enough to eat, and they will not give food to the monks of the ancestral temple, so the temple will not stay. Zhu Yuanzhang and other monks went out to beg for alms. This period of time is the fastest growing time for seventeen-year-old Zhu Yuanzhang. He went from Haozhou to Hefei, then to Henan, then to Ruzhou and Chen Zhou in the north, and then to Bozhou in the east. Wandering for three years, he has seen the local customs around Huaixi and broadened his horizons. At that time, the peasant uprising was surging, and desperate people joined the rebel army. Han Santong and Liu Futong revolted in Yingzhou, Xu Shouhui revolted in qi zhou, and Guo Zixing, a local tyrant in Dingyuan County, began to assemble tens of thousands of people and occupied Haozhou, which became the Lean Uprising. In this troubled times, Zhu Yuanzhang found the hero useful and joined the rebel army with great pride.
Military exploits, heroes make teenagers.
Zhu Yuanzhang joined the rebel army, brave, resourceful and flexible. He has accumulated a lot of social experience over the years, which makes him stand out. Soon, he was appointed as a confidant by Guo Zixing, and his adopted daughter Ma Shi, later Ma Huanghou, married Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was proud of the spring breeze, was not complacent. Instead, he felt that there were many contradictions within the rebels, and there was no unity at all. If you want to have greater development, you have to go out, so Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his hometown and began to recruit. His young companions Xu Da, Zhou Dexing and Guo Ying stood out one after another. Soon Zhu Yuanzhang recruited more than 700 people and thousands more in Dingyuan. Zhu Yuanzhang then used his own military forces to attack the Yuan military camp in Hengyuan Mountain and recruit soldiers. Zhu Yuanzhang did not forget Guo Zixing's kindness. Seeing that he was pinned down and excluded everywhere in Haozhou, he took Guo Zixing to Chuzhou and gave up the relieving power, which showed that Zhu Yuanzhang was affectionate and righteous.
After Guo Zixing's death, this rebel army still obeyed Zhu Yuanzhang's command. He listened to Zhu Sheng's strategy of building walls, accumulating grain, and slowly becoming king, and quickly and secretly expanded his strength. At the same time, pacify the famous Li Shanchang and help him adjust the relationship between military generals. After everything was ready, Zhu Yuanzhang began to capture Yingtian and stabilize the base area. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang also invited the famous Liu Bowen to advise him. Suddenly the number of troops reached as many as 100 thousand. While striving for the people's support, Zhu Yuanzhang constantly recruited talented people, and also relied on the emperor to save Wang Xiaoming, in order to win the people's support.
On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang's strength was constantly strengthened, which attracted the attacks of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, both rebels. Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang in Poyang Lake, Chen Li in Wuchang and Zhang Shicheng at Pingjiang. Since then, all the rebels have surrendered to Zhu Yuanzhang, and he has also begun to unify the world. Chang Yuchun and Xu Da led the northern expedition, driving the Yuan Dynasty out of the north of the Great Wall and recovering sixteen counties that had been lost for more than 400 years. From then on, Zhu Yuanzhang changed from a cowherd emperor to the founding emperor of Daming and expelled Mongolia.
Zhu Yuanzhang's life is legendary. He didn't give up the pace of progress because of the hardships of life. The chaos in the world will have an impact on his birth. Zhu Yuanzhang thought he was the savior to save the world, expel Tatars and restore China. This is an iron man. Although he is poor, he is not narrow-minded. The hero doesn't ask the source. Finally, he became a member of the great emperors in history.
When you encounter difficulties, don't lose heart and give up. Every problem has a solution. The key is to find a solution. I believe you are a hero.
